Natures Band-Aid

If you ever are lost in the wild and get a cut thats not too deep, place some cobwebs over it,sprinkle some hot water, and mold the mixture to form your affected area. Next, sprinkle some (NON POISONOUS) puff ball spores on the cobweb. There you have it, a natural band-aid!

“Puffballs that resepuffballmble hard boiled eggs are decaying, and not edible. Discolored puffballs should also be avoided.”

“Farmers in central Europe used to prevent infection by packing open wounds with fistfuls of cobwebs laced with fungus-grown penicillin.”

The healing cells (granulocytes and others) migrate into the middle of the wound, usually under a scab which forms over top to protect the site. In fact wounds heal much better if they are kept clean and moist and there is some sort of fabric for the cells to migrate along.
